Are the Houses Real Estate.

The Mantua Township authorities want
some legislation at Trenton this session that
will enable them TO tax the dwellings and
cottages at Pitman Grove. The Camp Meet
ing Association do not sell the land on
which the cottages are built. but dispose of
the sites at premium according to their
eligibility, together with an annual rental.
The Association reserve the right to remove
any cottage and prohibit the construction of
fixed buildings, the digging OF cellars and
the putting up of brick chimneys in such a
way as to make the cottage fast to the
ground Under this condition, the owners
OF cottages claim that their buildings are
personal property, taxable where the per-
sons live. The Township authorities claim
that they lose by this exemption about
100000 worth of property; that some OF
the owners are non-residents and thus es-
cape all tax; that other assessors do MOI.
make return of this property at all, and
that even if they did the tax is due to and
should be eollectable by Mantua Township.
They insist that the legal construction
which makes personal property out of these
cottages is unfair and wrong, and that the
Township is entitle to relief by taxing this
100000 worth of property. = Constitution

W. ". Wood. of the Uncle Toms Cabin
Company, favorably known here, is also en-
gagged during the off season in the show
business, in travelling in the interest of the
Carriage Monthly, Il paper published by
Ware & Bro, of Philadelphia. Some
time ago when in New York on business
trip, he found in an out building of the
hotel valuable gold watch, which some
previous visitor to the place had carelessly
left hanging on nail. He was about de-
parting for Boston and left wold at the
office of the hotel that he had found val
liable piece of property and would be there
again in four days. On his return, the
owner of the watch was there to meet him.
and proved to be Boston naval officer,
who was, as may be supposed, delighted to
receive his watch again. Mr.. Wood re-
fused any reward for returning the time
piece, but an acquaintance was formed
with the loser and Mr. Wood visited him
at his home number of times. A short
time since, Mr.. Wood received intelligence
of the death of his friend, and that the
watch in question, a gold one, valued at
$3.50 or $500, had been left to him in the
latter's will as legacy.
